How much does car detailing and valeting cost in Bournemouth in 2026?

We collected the prices published by Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Wimborne-area detailers and valeters in September 2026. Six of the twenty-two businesses in this directory publish at least one price; the rest ask you to call or message with details of the car.

Why the range is so wide

The gap between £15 and £497 mostly separates a single add-on from full protection work, rather than one business over- or under-charging. Squeaky Clean Car Valeting's only published figure, a £15 engine wipe, is an add-on rather than a wash or valet price on its own. AUTOGLEAM Mobile Valeting's three tiers run £25 to £65 for a standard valet up to a premier valet with hand-wax, and Healey's Mobile Valeting and Glam Shine Valeting both sit in a similar £50-£195 band once their fuller packages are counted: Healey's two-tier Fine Shine and Full Shine valets at £50 and £150, and Glam Shine's four tiers from a £50 Bronze up to a £195 Diamond package. Victory Lap Detailing publishes the widest single-business spread, from a £90 deep exterior clean up to a £200 pre-sale detail, with its £165 full valet in between. Prestige Details sits apart from the wash-and-valet businesses altogether: its £127 auto detailing service and £497 ceramic coating package are the only two figures published by a detailer rather than a valeter, which is why the top of the table sits so far above everything else.

What the rest charge

First Choice Detailing, Suprclean Detailing, RPM Valeting & Detailing, Andre Services, Spotless Mobile Dorset, GleamPro, Varletingbros, Boscombe BP Hand Wash, Southbourne Hand Car Wash, Diamond Hand Car Wash, Blue Stoat Valeting, Grove Valeting, A.P. Valeting, Shine Professional Car Valeting, Pro Valet and Alfie's Car Wash do not publish prices. Several of these, including First Choice Detailing and GleamPro, work from a fixed studio doing correction, coating and protection work, where the price genuinely depends on the size of the car and the condition of the paint before any product goes on; others are hand car washes and valeting shops with no website to publish a price list on in the first place. Have the make, model and current condition of the car ready when you call, and ask specifically whether the quote covers a wash, a full valet, or correction and coating work, since the terms are used loosely across this list.
